on a bright and perfect clear spring day
i went out walking all alone
found a child that couldn't laugh
for she'd left her mother's path
tried to take her by the hand
tried to make her understand
that home is just a state of mind
again again again

on a hot and muggy summer's day
i went out walking all alone
found the river had run dry
and begged for mercy from the sky
tried to take it by the hand
tried to make it understand
that nothing lasts forever
again again again

on a cool and misty autumn day
i went out walking all alone
found a bird that couldn't sing
then i saw it had no wing
tried to take it in my hand
tried to make it understand
that this was just its fate
again again again

on a cold and rainy winter's day
i went out walking all alone
found a lonely soldier crying
for all the souls he'd left dying
tried to take him by the hand
tried to make him understand
that no one was to blame
again again again
